Dear Mark,
Oh, no! Another 21/3.5!
Mine is 118444 and is multi-coated I think, but a bit later than yours.
Take a look at:
http://www.zuikoholic.com/lenscoatings.txt
and see what you think.
This page gives some examples of serial numbers and SC/MC evaluation, by
looking at the colours of the reflections from the lens elements.
Things seem to get a bit vague for this lens, right where your serial number
is!
I think that the consensus is if it says G.ZUIKO it will be SC and if it says
just ZUIKO it is a later version multi-coated lens, by which time they had
dropped the MC label from most or all lenses because they all were!
